1 Foundation for Healthy Communities NH Partnership for Patients Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) 2.0 Hospital National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Workshop Anne Diefendorf & Greg Vasse March 7, 2016 Our charge is clear: reduce preventable harm by 40% and reduce preventable readmissions by 20% by 9/23/2016.

2 1. Introductions Objectives 2. Review the HEN 2.0 project goals and timeframe related to HAI 3. Orient to available resources 4. Share baseline performance 5. Solicit input for agendas/ priorities to focus on in next SIX months!!!

3 Results Interim estimates for 2014 show a sustained 17 percent decline in hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) since A cumulative total of 2.1 million fewer HACs were experienced by hospital patients over the 4 years (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014) relative to the number of HACs that would have occurred if rates had remained steady at the 2010 level. The measured interim rate for 2014 held steady from 2013 at 121 HACs per 1,000 discharges, down from 145 in We estimate that nearly 87,000 fewer patients died in the hospital as a result of the reduction in HACs and that approximately $19.8 billion in health care costs were saved from 2010 to 2014.

4 NH Results A cumulative total of 4873 fewer HACs were experienced by hospital patients over the 4 years (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014) relative to the number of HACs that would have occurred if rates had remained steady at the 2010 level. Approximately $40.2 million in health care costs were saved / averted from 2010 to 2014.

5 New Hampshire All 26 acute care hospitals are committed to work on Partnership for Patients with FHC, through AHA HRET Will align with work of NH Health Care QA Commission, State of NH Programs (HAI, Adverse Events, Opioid Drug Task Force, etc.), QIN/QIO and others

6 HEN 2.0 Project Goals Reduce Harm by 40% Reduce Preventable Readmissions by 20% by September 23, 2016 Core Adverse Event Areas (AEAs): Must report on all applicable AEAs Adverse Drug Events (ADE) Injuries from Falls and Immobility Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) Ventilator Associated Events (VAP) Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Pressure Ulcers (PrU) Surgical Site Infections Obstetrical (OB) Harm and Early Elective Deliveries (EED) Readmissions 6

7 Additional Harm Areas Reduce Harm by 40% Airway Safety Culture of Safety, fully integrates patient safety with worker safety** Additional AEAs: Clostridium difficile (C. diff.), including antibiotic stewardship* Failure to Rescue** Iatrogenic Delirium Undue Exposure to Radiation Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock* * HRET focus: Sepsis, C. diff. and two other **measures for NH 7

8 Raising the Bar in HEN 2.0 Expectations: Work on all applicable topic areas including the 10 core topics, additional four topics and operational metrics Submit data for at least four additional, applicable AEAs, including Sepsis and C. difficile 3 operational metric categories: 1) patient and family engagement, 2) health care disparities 3) engaging leadership and governance Submit required data on all applicable topics, including needs assessment, baseline data and monitoring data Commit to collaboration participate in and share success stories and lessons learned with other HEN hospitals and participate in site visits. 8

9 Data Submission Timeframe of baseline varies by measure Monitoring data to be entered monthly, beginning with October 2015 data NHSN data uploaded directly to CDS Other data predominately claims based, AHRQ PSI Pursuing perfection should not stand in way of data collection It is hard to drive your car looking in the rear view mirror 9

10 Patients and their families are essential partners in the effort to improve the quality and safety of health care. Tanya Lord PhD, MPH is available through Partnership for Patients and the FHC to assist New Hampshire hospitals to develop or enhance their patient engagement programs. She offers expertise as a professional in patient safety and patient engagement as well as a patient/family member who experienced the death of her son due to medical error. Her unique perspective allows her to effectively communicate and work with both healthcare professionals and patients.
